Maybe because Soul Train was born this day in 1971 I want to tell this story. I was born in the Jim Crow south. When I began high school in 1972 it was just five years after local schools had desegregated.

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Jim Risch has served almost 18 years, and his TV ad's onlyl message is that he fought to not sell public land (vs Utah Rep). He doesn't mention his personal wealth went from $20M to $52M. He's pro school prayer, “Religious Education Week,” and supports homeschooling. Go away Jim. Time to retire.
